HBO just released the first official photos from the next season of "Game of Thrones," and they look awesome. But also very, very dark.

After six seasons of warnings, winter is definitely here. Every character is bundled up in furs and coats and is dressed in black and other dark colors. Dark times are coming, and it is very clear that no one is safe.

The images don't tell us a lot. But with a closer look, some of them do inform us about where characters are geographically, and suggest whom they're with and where they're headed. It's all we have until "Game of Thrones" season seven premieres on July 16, or at least until we get a full-length trailer.

Here are the 15 first official images from season seven of "Game of Thrones":

1/

Daenerys Targaryen and her crew make it to Westeros.

It looks like Dany and her really, really large crew have safely made it to Westeros. They've probably made it to Dragonstone, the original home of the Targaryens. We've already seen Dany teased on the throne there in early marketing for the season.

2/

Tyrion Lannister is proudly wearing his Hand of the Queen pin, but he looks troubled.

Tyrion is currently serving as Dany's faithful right hand, but what will happen if he crosses paths again with his brother and sister?

3/

Missandei is showing off an updated version of the threads she wore in season six.

We expect Missandei to continue to remain loyal to her Queen.

4/

It looks like Varys has made his way north.

The last time we saw him, he was in Dorne, where it is hot. This outfit suggests he is definitely not on the beach anymore.

5/

Daenerys Targaryen looks right at home in Westeros.

She may be in the same room as Varys, and it looks like the throne at Dragonstone is behind her.

6/

Arya may be resting for the moment, but don't expect that to last long. She still has quite a few names on her kill list.

She deserves to sit down and enjoy a meal before getting to the next name on her kill list. It looks like she's at an inn in Westeros. But where she's headed is more interesting than where she is: Is she going north to Winterfell, or is she heading to King's Landing to cross Cersei off the list?

7/

The Hound does not appear to be pleased with winter.

He's all bundled up, which suggests he might be in the North, and it looks like he's still with the Brotherhood Without Banners. We hope he reunites with Arya on his journey.

8/

Jon Snow is brooding, as always.

The King in the North has a lot to brood about these days.

9/

Littlefinger is as creepy as ever, and Sansa is not having it.

Although Littlefinger and the Knights of the Vale helped win back Winterfell at the Battle of the Bastards, Sansa is clearly still not letting Littlefinger get away with handing her over to the Boltons.

10/

It looks like the unexpected flirtation between Tormund and Brienne will continue.
